In Cape Town's District 6, despite the brutality of apartheid laws, the lives of people go on. In these five connected stories, the central character is a precocious little girl called Rosa. Through her adventures in the neighbourhood we come to meet and know the District and its many colourful inhabitants - Mamma Zila, Auntie Flowers, Mrs Hood and Uncle Peter - and their confusing, enigmatic lives, and all too human quirks.
"'No Rosa, No District Six' is a terrifically ferocious story about a young girls sudden education in the erotic lives of women." - The Globe and Mail
"The story ['No Rosa, No District Six'] is startlingly clear and intimate." -Kingston Whig-Standard
"... a writer in our midst with radical style and uncommon courage. The ability to engage the reader passionately in her narrator's experiences, which she demonstrates ... makes Maart a writer to watch." -The Ottawa Citizen
